With the ongoing onslaught of Anglo-Saxon (excuse the vagueness) law 
worldwide, this is either very worrying internationally (as being 
inescapable) or may serve as a wake-up call to take an even more critical

too hastilly embraced in some quarters (which does not mean throwing away 
the baby, btw).
